Strongly doubt it.. Plus I think Calzaghe is the better fighter anyway

(Now that ive said that, rest assured, you can almost gaurantee a Hopkins win.. most likely by KO)
Reid only threw round about just over 400 punches against Calzaghe which isn't a high work rate. And he still badly troubled Calzaghe.
Yes Calzaghe had a very bad night but still pulled off the win. The sign of a "great" champion.
